In The Culturally Savvy Christian?his incisivecritique of contemporary culture and religion?Dick Staubconcludes that though it is influential, American popular cultureis generally superficial (diversionary, mindless, andcelebrity-driven) spiritually delusional (moralistic, therapeutic,and deistic) and soulless (sustained not by art, craft, and ideas,but by the mad pursuit of profit?propped up by marketing andtechnology). Similarly American Christianity has devolved into itsown mindless, diversionary, and celebrity-driven superficiality. Because humans are created in God's image with spiritual,intellectual, creative, moral, and relational capacities, we longfor more, yet the true seeker faces the lose-lose alternatives of asoul-numbing culture and a vacuous Christianity-lite. Therenaissance we need in both faith and culture will originate in adeep spiritual renewal that restores God's image in us and createsa new breed of culturally savvy, thoughtful creatives who rekindlethe spiritual, intellectual, and creative legacy of Christians asenrichers of culture.
